Well that escalated quickly.
Last week Brooklyn indie-pop band the Drums announced their awaited comeback via new song snippet and a string of fall tour dates. Today, we have the first new full song from Jonny Pierce and crew, and it’s definitely got a different vibe than past material.
“Magic Mountain” is pretty all over the place, and a bit more aggressive than previous tunes. It’s a spunky little number that gets the Drums out of the bedroom and into the streets.
We might need a few listens to let this one sink in.
Meanwhile, the Drums are at Brighton Music Hall on September 22.
